The meme brilliantly skewers Lamarckian evolution—the hilariously outdated theory that acquired traits can be passed to offspring. Someone thinks a nose job will give their future kids small noses? Darwin is rolling in his grave! The "fact-checked by real Lysenkoist comrades" stamp adds a delicious layer of Soviet science history humor. Trofim Lysenko, Stalin's favorite "biologist," rejected Mendelian genetics and pushed Lamarckian ideas that set Soviet agriculture back decades. Nothing like some good old pseudoscience with a side of historical catastrophe to remind us why we love actual evidence-based biology!
